Dr. George W. Levere.
To Zion Presbyterian Church, Charleston:
A pastor sleeps, and Zion weeps
In agony of grief.
They look above, to God of Love,
And supplicate relief.
In agony of grief.
They look above, to God of Love,
And supplicate relief.
He comes no more; he comes no more
With messages of peace.
His race is run; his labor done;
His soul has found release.
With messages of peace.
His race is run; his labor done;
His soul has found release.
Then, Zion, wake, fresh courage take,
Our Father knoweth best.
He knoweth all; He sent the call—
And gave thy loved one rest.
Our Father knoweth best.
He knoweth all; He sent the call—
And gave thy loved one rest.
Work on, work on; at morn and noon,
And in the gloomy night,
For soon shall come thy summons home
To Father's house of light.
And in the gloomy night,
For soon shall come thy summons home
To Father's house of light.
